    Our favorite local restaurant, adore the people who are at this restaurant. We nearly always have the specials, last night was Triple tail fish with a beurre blanc sauce , ratatouille and roasted sweet potatoes, my husband had the lamb shank , fall off the bone tender and flavorful. Never had a bad meal or even been remotely disappointed. See you soon Alice and chef!

    As always, the food quality and preparation is superb. Service is just right, attentive and friendly. We both had the escargot for appetizer and my wife had the seared scallops on the creamiest risotto. While I had the Salmon special with bay scallops and spinach in a mushroom cream broth. We paired these with the wine special of the night: a Superb Cotes de Rhone! Perfection.

    Our last time at Cote France was about 18 months ago. At that time I believe we had an inexperienced server which made the dinner somewhat unpleasant. Last night the food was superb. The server,listed as Thomas but was a woman , was excellent. Her wine recommendations were spot on as well dinner suggestions…. Can’t wait to return.
